Hello!

I just started to make an ASDF layout for the Innuktitut syllabics
characters (in association with Fontboard).  The syllabic charcters are
assigned to their (closest match) Innuit Latin keys (*a* on A, *pa* on P,
...) as follows:

VOWELS:
*ai* (e)    E    *i*    I    *u* (o)    U    *a*    A

INDEPENDENT CONSONANT
*h*    O

-*AI* SYLLABLES
*pai*    <SH>B    *tai*    <SH>D    *kai*    <SH>G    *gai* (tse)    <SH>J
*mai*    <SH>?    *nai*    <SH>~    *sai*    <SH>Z    *lai*    <SH>|
*jai* (ye)    <SH>F    *vai* (fe)    <SH>V    *rai*    <SH>Q    *lhai*
(lhe)    <SH>{

-*I* SYLLABLES
*pi*    B    *ti*    D    *ki*    G    *gi* (tsi)    J    *mi*    /    *ni*
`    *si*    Z    *li*    \
*ji* (yi)    F    *vi* (fi)    V    *ri*    Q    *lhi*    [

-*U* SYLLABLES
*pu*    <SH>P    *tu*    <SH>T    *ku*    <SH>K    *gu* (tso)    <SH>C
*mu*    <SH>M    *nu*    <SH>N    *su*    <SH>S    *lu*    <SH>L
*ju* (yo)    <SH>Y    *vu* (fo)    <SH>W    *ru*    <SH>R    *lhu* (lho)
<SH>}

-*A* SYLLABLES
*pa*    P    *ta*    T    *ka*    K    *ga* (tsa)    C    *ma*    M    *na*
N    *sa*    S    *la*    L
*ja* (ya)    Y    *va* (fa)    W    *ra*    R    *lha*    ]

There are quite a few *missing* syllablics characters:
·The character for the syllable *lhai* (lhe) (like a horizontally mirrored
*lhi*, or a rotated *lha*)
·The characters for the entire *sp*- series (shown on Wikipedia’s article
on UCAS as copies of ZESS, Z, N, and Russian Cyrillic I-OBROTNOYE)
Where would y’all think about where to place these still-missing UCAS
characters?!?!
Thank You!
